I can understand coming from that perspective, that including analytics could be interpreted as unnecessary for people not actually needing it. One of the reason it was added is since a lot of game devs want to actually see how their game is doing when released. But this is something they don't want to spend precious development time on. That money/time is better spent on doing cool games instead. :)

There is no hidden agenda here, we really just want to enable people to track installs/DAU etc across platforms without writing a row of boring platform specific analytics code.
